Exploring the Magic of the North: West Nordic Day in Beijing 🌟
Hey there! Have you ever dreamed of visiting the icy lands of the North? On April 10, something super cool happened in Beijing, China! The Embassy of Iceland teamed up with friends from Greenland and the Faroe Islands to bring a special event called West Nordic Day! ❄️🌊
Visitors got to dive into the amazing nature and culture of these northern places. There were short films and awesome photos showing giant glaciers, roaring waterfalls, and the dazzling northern lights! Can you imagine seeing those colorful lights dancing in the sky? 🌌✨
But wait, there’s more! The event was also a tasty adventure. Let’s check out the yummy foods they shared:
- Iceland served up slow-cooked Arctic char with pickled red onions and vinaigrette. Arctic char is a fish that lives in icy waters. Imagine tasting something straight from the crystal-clear rivers of Iceland! 🐟🥗
- Greenland brought delicious fried halibut skewers with lime and tartar sauce. Halibut is a big fish from the deep sea. Crunchy on the outside and soft inside – yum! 🍢🍋
- Faroe Islands presented pan-fried salmon medallions with hollandaise sauce. The Faroe Islands are famous for their salmon, and hollandaise is a creamy sauce that’s super tasty. 🐠🧈
Everyone at the event got to learn about these cool places and their traditions. It was like taking a trip to the North without leaving Beijing! Maybe someday you’ll get to visit Iceland, Greenland, or the Faroe Islands and see the glaciers and northern lights yourself! 🌍✈️
